Is Lucas Charles DiLaurentis On 'Pretty Little Liars'? That Anagram May Hold The Answer To The Big A Mystery

There are so, so many Charles DiLaurentis identity theories out there, it's enough to make your head spin. I mean, could he be Jason's twin? Related to Spencer? Not related to Spencer? What exactly makes him a DiLaurentis? Honestly, at this point, just about anyone could be Big A, but there's one person who's been looking more and more likely to be the real Charles: Lucas Gottesman. After all, Lucas has always slipped in and out of the A hoodie with ease, and he's never exactly been the most trustworthy dude on the show — so could he be Charles' secret alter ego?

Now, of course, there are a couple of holes in this theory — the largest of which is Lucas' age and appearance (he doesn't have the DiLaurentis blonde hair, and he looks a little on the youthful side to be part of the N.A.T. generation). That said, what's a little hair dye and lying about your age when you're running an operation that includes an evil-genius Dollhouse, complete with crazily sophisticated surveillance and doors that lock on their own? Whoever Charles is, I think we can all agree that he's well-equipped to handle a touch of espionage.

Need a little more convincing? Here are a few reasons Lucas might be Charles.

He's Been Suspicious For Ages

Even before the whole #BigAReveal, Lucas was always one of the A frontrunners — I mean, remember that time he trashed Ali's memorial while wearing a black hoodie? Their bad blood has always served as a great potential motive for all of the A madness, and we all know he's got the smarts to pull it off.

He's Connected To Jason

If you re-watch "This Is A Dark Ride" (you know, the Season 3 Halloween episode on a train with the Adam Lambert concert), you'll notice that there's definitely something fishy going on between Jason and Lucas. Could it be some sort of secret long-lost twin business? Hmm...

Lucas Is Somehow Involved

In a recent interview with Fashion & Style, the actor who plays Lucas, Brendan Robinson, gave a few hints about his role in Season 6. He couldn't give anything concrete away, but he did reveal that "Lucas will be involved" in the resolution of the "current A mystery" — so at least we know he's at the very least connected to all the crazy Rosewood drama.
